Raquel Cole

Labeled by American Songwriter Magazine as “a dynamite vocalist, songwriter and guitar slinger to boot,” Raquel Cole has been singing and writing songs since acquiring her first guitar at the age of nine. She was inspired by hit songs she heard on the radio from artists like Shania Twain and Bryan Adams, but also from jamming to 70’s rock and roll with her dad in the basement of their home. After graduating high school, Cole had planned to go on to study jazz guitar, but instead followed her passion of songwriting with a move to Nashville. Cole’s skill as a musician is one of the first things that her audience notices about this British Columbia native. She’s opened for artists like Carrie Underwood, Jonny Lang, Brothers Osborne, Scotty McCreery and Josh Turner.HIGHLIGHTSNamed “25 under 25 musicians everyone needs to know” by the CBC, alongside Alessia Cara and Shawn Mendes
